In this special update we track both the upcoming weekend weather and the sudden development of Cyclone Donna which is about to hit Vanuatu, likely as a “Severe” cyclone over a number of days.

Meanwhile at the same time in New Zealand we’re dealing with an incoming anti-cyclone for Friday, the weekend and early next week.

Head forecaster Philip Duncan tracks what might happen next week as the remants of then ex-Cyclone Donna possibly link up with a low in the Tasman Sea.

The long range forecast is by no means locked in, but here’s the latest on how the next several days may shape up in our part of the world.
